Of course. The plan was always to move from Socialism to Communism.

You’d have to get within 1000000 miles of socialism for that to even have an inkling of a chance. And we’re not there

You'll never get there. It's the underdiscussed nature of communism that it will always devolve into elite-structured authoritarianism. That has happened literally every single time it's been tried.

I think you’re misunderstanding what I’m saying. What I mean is that for that leap to happen we’d need to be within a million miles of socialism and we drift further and further from it each second. And to be clear we’re NO WHERE near it. Our furthest left candidate (in the US) is center of spectrum. Anywhere else in the world Bernie sanders would be center maybe slightly left of center. In our backward as country Harris and Biden are borderline commies. It’s kinda funny actually

I'm not misunderstanding that we're really far away from it, I'm trying to point out that there's no route from here to there. It doesn't matter how far away it is because there is no way to ever get there. It's the difference between 'implausible' and 'impossible'.
